BERNARDO (1) makes his poly track debut after making the move recently to join a South Island stable. His last run was nearly 4 weeks ago over 2040m at Whanganui, so he won't lack fitness, and with a drop to BM60 grade, he will be hard to beat. NEW BEGINNING (5) won a trial prior to finishing in the money twice in as many starts this prep. She maps to receive the run of the race, and stepping up an extra 600m is the ideal next step at this stage of her campaign. Stick with her. SINCERE (3) made up late ground over this trip on the turf at Oamaru 11 days ago, and he is usually better on the poly here. He has not won for some time, but he does have each-way claims at this level. ADIOS VAMONOS (7) should be at her peak fitness fourth up, and she will relish getting out this trip for the first time. Include in all top 4 combos. CORRECTION (2) drops back in class from a poor run at BM75 level here last start over 1600m. He is worth another chance over a more suitable, longer journey.
